UKAS-accredited pendulum slip resistance testing in Worksop and across Nottinghamshire. BS 7976 / BS EN 16165 compliant. Reports within 48 hours of attendance.
Worksop is the principal market town of north Nottinghamshire, on the western edge of Sherwood Forest and the southern edge of South Yorkshire. It has a busy retail centre around Bridge Street and the Priory Centre, a strong hospitality offer, and significant logistics and manufacturing employment along the A1 / M1 corridor.
Worksop visits combine with Mansfield, Retford, and Sheffield's southern fringe. Typical scope includes retail and food unit testing, care home compliance work, and the major distribution centres and food-processing sites along the A1.
Retail and hospitality, distribution and logistics operators along the A1 / M1, schools and care homes, the Bassetlaw District Council leisure estate, and the Bassetlaw Hospital site.
Worksop claims are heard at Nottingham County Court. The town's heavy logistics base means employer's liability slip claims (operational floors, welfare areas, canteens) sit alongside the more typical retail and hospitality occupiers' liability work — both require UKAS-accredited PTV evidence to defend properly.
Surface Performance is one of the relatively small number of testing bodies in the UK with full UKAS accreditation to ISO/IEC 17025 for slip resistance testing under BS 7976 and BS EN 16165. UKAS accreditation means our reports are recognised by courts, by insurers, by HSE inspectors, and by the major insurance markets — without challenge.
We are also explicitly independent. We do not sell anti-slip coatings, treatments, mats, or chemical products. Our only commercial output is the test report itself. That independence is what gives our reports their evidential weight: there is no commercial incentive for us to find a problem where there isn't one, or to overlook one where there is.
